Former American Idol contestant Adam Lambert didn't hold back when discussing the season 10 contestants. In fact, some say his comments about James Durbin could have cost the singer the show!
Lambert was initially complimentary of Durbin, tweeting: "Durbin sounded bad (expletive) tonight! Lot more control! And while we both have a rock scream I think we're pretty different stylistically."
He changed his tune somewhat, telling The Hollywood Reporter that he was "kind of over" Durbin, whom he has often been compared to.
"I think he's got talent and passion 100 percent, but I feel like he's trying way too hard," Adam says. "Also, his niche is so limited with the metal. When he did that Heavy Metal song [by Sammy Hagar], James was note-perfect. He was on pitch, which is usually kind of an issue, and I think he sounded really good, but it felt like a copycat. I didn't feel like I was seeing an original artist yet. And I'm not saying he doesn't have that in him, but it hasn't been showing. Whereas Haley and Casey, they're bringing a little more legitimacy to it. They're more grounded in their own voices. When they did that jazz duet, that was nuts! They give off a good vibe."
Durbin had said that Lambert's American Idol performances had inspired him to try out, so he was understandably hurt by his diss.
"I was nothing more than nice to that guy and, you know, he decided to take it to a different level. So, whatever," Durbin told MTV.
adam lambert american idol celebrity tweets james durbin
If you can't take the heat in the Kitchen then maybe you should go home. I watched James Durbin and he isn't that good! Certainly no comparison to Adam Lambert! Nice try though....
Adam Lambert can and did it all on American Idol during season 8! No one even came close to him (Adam Lambert) especially his voice. From the first show of American Idol to the very present no ONE holds a candle to Adam Lambert!
Looking back on this now makes the comments by Adam seem even more unnecessary and obnoxious. My opinion? It's an elitist, snobby view of music. Durbin is totally an original in who he is, how he sings and how he performs. I love jazz and it's definitely 'hip,' but it's not the only way to be original. And, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being entertaining. Not many on Idol could have done the performances James did without looking like a fool. Adam, Casey or Haley would've looked foolish performing like James. But not James. He's a complete natural and there's nothing unoriginal about that, fur sure. It's a VERY rare talent.
Adam Lambert totally sucks.
I'm sure James won't release a CRAP of an album as Adam did. James rocks!
Quit with the comparisons, people! James and Adam are two very different (but talented) artists. And for whoever said Adam was just faking the rock thing for AI, that's not true. He's involved in a lot of different genres.
I'm a fan of James and Adam,but if Adam wanted to be constuctive he should have said things to James not the media.Besides no one is completely original.They all take things from others...its called inspiration. Love James!!!and Adam!
James, we love you! You ROCK! - D - M L - - B - - T sucks!!!
please watch adam's performances and james' then comment. adam is wwwaaaaayyyyy better than james. voice wise, originality and performance. james durbin is a copycat. his performance doesn't stand out.
I can't understand why people are too harsh on James, who just lives his dreams. Sometimes, people are just making things bigger and exaggerating while there's no BIG DEAL. And what's more, it's ADAM who starts being harsh on James. He shouldn't do that to a fellow singer who comes the same journey as him. Although I like Adam's singing, I love James far above just because he's humble, the only times he shows his pride is while SINGING. WE LOVE YOU JAMES!
Adam Lambert sucks! Even that queen Clay Aiken thinks so.
Now that's bad! I think this guy is James Durbin is the sh**! He's got an amazing voice!
Adam was only giving his own opinion and plus Durbin did NOT get kicked off idol till semi finals not Adam Lambert mentour week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Durbin over-reacted 8{
I had James as the winner of idol and it was a great shock when he was eliminated. He is without a doubt a true rocker and I loved watching all his performances. James, this is your beginning to great success and thank you for being so true to yourself all the time. I believe in you and wish you and your family a happy future. I will be waiting to hear you on the radio.
What do ya know. James has fans, and Adam has fans. I like them both, and am not offended by either's comments. THERE IS NO FEUD! So let it go, and move on!!!!
Adam is a faux-rocker. James is the real deal! What was Adam Lambert doing before AI? I can tell you, it wasn't metal. house music and raves, Broadway Musicals...he put on a Rock persona for American Idol. James is a true Rock Star and he certainly doesn't need Adam Lambert to validate him!
I think Adam is a washed up has been and a freak at that. Put him in a concert hall next to James and just see who has the fan base. James hands down would win. Adam looks like a harry potter wanta be weirdo at least James has a reason to call himself a freak. He is the ultimate Rocker or anything james wants to sing he is great. Also more class in his pinky than Adam could ever have too you didnt see james putting lamo down did ya no not at all James has way to much class and confidence in himself.
@Alex You don't have to love Adam's music! Your bad taste in music is your problem! But stop trashing Adam by comparing him to this karaoke, mediocre, metal singer wanna be - James Durbin! He is Not James Hetfield yet ( if you know who is it). He is just a boy with really nasty attitude! Just read that he continue to talk not nicely about Adam in every opportunity, even when he not being asked about! Its getting bizarre! I think James became obsessed with Adam - just like his not so smart fans! Do you beloved James a favor - tell him stop talking and concentrate on music or something positive! You Not become a metal rocker by saing I AM A METAL ROCKER!
Why does James keep blaming Adam for his elimination? The voters spoke and he received fewer votes than the other 3 contestants - simple - but his fans keep blaming Adam, the voting system, Haley and whatever.
Has James been signed yet? Maybe not?? Perhaps that could be the reason he's making a big deal out of this.
Anyway, this James/Adam issue has well and truly worn out its welcome. Further, comparing Adam and James's singing prowess doesn't achieve anything except people making nasty, nasty comments. Adam is a pop/rocker but not a heavy metal rocker, and those of us fortunate to witness Adam's Glam Nation concerts know how superb his performances are. He performed at 117 concerts including concerts around the world, nearly all of which were sold out. You only reap what you sow and not only is Adam very talented, he's also a very hard worker.
This Durbinator doesn't give a . I don't hate Adam but I hate his music, GaGa does electro-pop better than him. It's such a pity that Adam hasn't done rock post-Idol, his voice is wasted on the mediocre corn dirge he currently sings.
OMG. This is funny. I didn't even know this was going on. Seriously, I think Adam is exactly what he looks like, "." Wearing black clothes does not make you a rocker. Can't say anything nice, don't say anything. Why you gotta hate on James? Adam can get some but James can't. If I were James, I wouldn't even worry about it. His performance on IDOL was outstanding. IDOL was all about Country this year, so be it. Keep your head up James, you're freakin awesome dude!
Adam has already tweeted the other day that he meant no harm to James and apolizied , he also will not be commenting anymore about anything idol when asked whereas everything he says is taken out of context. Durbin fans, get over it- adam did nothing wrong!

PAT draws small-scale (world and country-level) physical, political, and statistical maps, and flexibly lists information about world places. It does what a traditional paper atlas does, but interactively. PAT's intended user is the student, hobbyist, researcher, webmaster, or other non-professional. PAT is designed to be portable; it has the bare minimum of operating-system dependencies and is written in stable, well-known C. Any system with an ANSI C compiler and ISO runtime libraries can run PAT. PAT's abstract device model can accomodate any raster device; it comes with drivers for TTY, GIF, JPEG, PNG, X11, GRX, and others. PAT is multilingual and supports Unicode. Program messages have been translated to English and French so far. PAT can be run interactively, or batch-style from the command line and/or with scripts.
SYINF shows in brief a system's CPU brand and model, RAM size, disk space, operating system, regional parameters, and current date and time. It can run in interactive (menu) or batch mode. There are two versions, in the C and C++ languages. They have been tested on 21 (15) compilers, 27 (26) operating systems, and 19 architectures. (Figures in parentheses are for the C++ version.) Both versions are conveyed in source code form only, each as a single ~35 KB source text file.
SNOW is a utility for concealing messages in ASCII text by appending whitespace to the end of lines. Because spaces and tabs are generally not visible in text viewers, messages concealed with whitespace are effectively hidden from casual observers. If SNOW's built-in encryption is used, the message cannot be read even if it is detected. SNOW exploits the Steganographic Nature Of Whitespace, similar to finding a polar bear in a snowstorm; hence the name.
Hyenae is a highly flexible and platform independent network packet generator. It allows you to reproduce low level Ethernet attack scenarios (such as MITM, DoS, and DDoS) to reveal potential security vulnerabilities of your network. Besides smart wildcard-based address randomization, a highly customizable packet generation control, and an interactive attack assistant, Hyenae comes with a clusterable remote daemon for setting up distributed attack networks.
TAP4Pascal is an easy-to-use but powerful unit testing suite for Pascal (FreePascal, Turbo Pascal, et al.), conforming to the Test-Anything Protocol (TAP) specification, originally developed for testing Perl, and lightweight enough to work on any platform since it is entirely text-based. It comes with its own test harness for running and summarizing the results of multiple test sets. It aims to be straightforward and to make test building easy and quick for developers, and to help software work better for everyone.

A.J. Ellis is most likely going to bat 8th in 2012. Why? Because that's simply what non-elite catchers do. Don Mattingly hasn't quite come out and said it, but in each of the 25 games Ellis has started, he's hit either 7th or 8th. Ellis is probably going to hit something like .245 with little or no power, and so you'll stick him at the bottom of the order without a second thought – as you do.
Except… we should know better than that by now, right? Ellis has one real offensive skill, one he could potentially be quite good at: getting on base. Where there's obviously value in that no matter where in the lineup a batter hits, that particular skill is somewhat less useful in the 8th spot in the order. Think about the various scenarios that could play out if Ellis gets on base from the 8th spot, as we hope he often does.
With two outs
Ellis gets on base. Pitcher (assuming it's too early to pinch-hit) ends the inning something like 85-90% of the time, thus wasting Ellis' achievement.
With one out
Ellis gets on base. Pitcher attempts to sacrifice Ellis to second, causing out #2. With two outs, Ellis scoring depends on Dee Gordon (.325 OBP in 2011) or Mark Ellis (.288 OBP) bringing him in, and for both to avoid making outs before Matt Kemp gets up.
With no outs
Ellis gets on base. Pitcher attempts to sacrifice Ellis to second, causing out #1. With one out, Ellis scoring depends on Gordon or Mark Ellis bringing him in, and for at least one to avoid making outs before Matt Kemp gets up.
Assuming Gordon leads off (which Mattingly has already said he will) and Mark Ellis hits second (which hasn't been confirmed yet, but he's a veteran second baseman in a lineup without an established #2 hitter, so of course he will), the 8th place hitter is likely to hit directly in front of three of the four worst OBP hitters in the lineup, excepting only Juan Uribe. As you can see, in order for A.J. Ellis, potentially one of the three best OBP hitters in this lineup (and think about that for a second) to be on base for Kemp or Andre Ethier to bring him in, you're going to need to count on several hitters who specialize in making outs to do exactly the opposite.
It just doesn't make sense, and that's not only in thinking through scenarios like the ones above. The numbers back this up, as we can see from XeiFrank over at Dodger Sims, who ran various lineups through 100,000 different games to come up with the most optimal lineup.
And without any further ado, here is the Dodgers best lineups vs LHP and RHP. Note that in this exercise, I used the 2012 Zips Projections for all Dodgers hitters.
vs LHP Lineup vs RHP Lineup A.J. Ellis A.J. Ellis Andre Ethier Andre Ethier Matt Kemp Matt Kemp Juan Rivera James Loney James Loney Juan Rivera Juan Uribe Juan Uribe Mark Ellis Mark Ellis Dee Gordon Dee Gordon Pitchers Spot Pitchers Spot
You can also see that the best spot for Gordon is 8th; not only does that make sense because of his potential on-base difficulties, but it also allows him the best opportunities to steal. With the pitcher following, you can give Gordon an eternal green light, hoping that a steal and a sacrifice could immediately turn Gordon singles into triples. That may not be the same strategy if he's on base ahead of the heart of the lineup, because the last thing you want to do is have an inning end with Kemp at the plate because Gordon got thrown out stealing.
Now, even though I would put Gordon lower in the lineup, I haven't spent too much time worrying about it. It hasn't seemed worthwhile, because we've always known that Mattingly would have him lead off; while that may not be logically ideal, I can't argue that the idea of him flying around the bases as Kemp & Ethier drive him home is pretty fun to think about out, and there's not an immediately obvious alternative that a second-year manager could really go with.
But dumping A.J. Ellis at the bottom of the order while letting Mark Ellis hit 2nd, well, that's a pretty less-than-optimal use of resources. For a team that is expected to have all sorts of offensive issues even if everything goes as planned, it'd behoove them to deploy the weapons they have in the best alignment to promote success. Of course, as XeiFrank notes, the overall impact here is probably only around 1-2 wins, since lineup alignment generally doesn't have as much impact as we like to think it is. But for a team that most expect to be in the 82-86 win range, and especially with the possibility of a second wild card being available this year, one or two wins could be monumentally important. Let's hope Mattingly has the courage to go against the grain and go with a the more non-traditional lineup that might lead to additional offense.
Other notes…
* Andre Ethier's in camp, and he's being a peach, as usual.
* Chad Moriyama has a good read on media coverage of the Ryan Braun situation, arguing that those who claim Braun got off "on a technicality" aren't really being truthful.
* Minor injuries to unimportant pitchers: Dylan Hernandez reports that Shane Lindsay and Ryan Tucker have each been shut down, and Eric Stephen expands that Lindsay is dealing with a lat, while Tucker has a sore neck.

William Shakespeare – Sonnet 119Follow
What potions have I drunk of Siren tears,
Distilled from limbecks foul as hell within,
Applying fears to hopes, and hopes to fears,
Still losing when I saw myself to win!
What wretched errors hath my heart committed,
Whilst it hath thought itself so blessed never!
How have mine eyes out of their spheres been fitted,
In the distraction of this madding fever!
O benefit of ill! now I find true
That better is by evil still made better;
And ruined love, when it is built anew,
Grows fairer than at first, more strong, far greater.
So I return rebuked to my content,
And gain by ill thrice more than I have spent.

Solution Provider Finds Vision, Roadmap and Trusted Partners to be Significant Factors in Enterprise IT Success
NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Logicalis US, an international IT solutions and managed services provider (www.us.logicalis.com), announced today the findings from a study into the impact of IT transformation on the effectiveness and efficiency of enterprise computing. The study, which surveyed more than 600 qualified IT professionals, was based on a blueprint for IT growth and change called the IT Transformation Journey. According to the study, commissioned by Logicalis through the Ponemon Institute, enterprise and midmarket IT organizations become increasingly more effective and cost-efficient as they move through the six stages of the IT Transformation Journey. Responses highlighted concerns that a lack of vision, technology roadmap and budget, or trusted partners can stop IT progress in its tracks.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130828/MM71035LOGO-a)
[See an infographic summarizing key points from this study here: http://www.ict-log.us/song9.]
"CIOs are searching for relevance today, and in many ways, the ability to increase their value to the company is tied inextricably to the stage in which their IT infrastructure resides along the IT Transformation Journey," says Brett Anderson, director of Enterprise Computing Solutions for Logicalis US. "The more developed a company's IT roadmap, the more readily that company is able to adapt to technological changes and new requirements; respond to risks in a proactive, rather than reactive manner; and overcome threats to IT system availability and performance. They may have less infrastructure on premise and be relying on partners more so that it frees their time to concentrate on using technology to benefit the company in more strategic ways."

Markus Pommer aims at winning the title
19. April 2014
Team Lotus-Motopark signed their driver with whom they want to win the 2014 German ATS Formula 3 Cup Markus Pommer, from Heilbronn in the south of Germany, will spearhead the team's title assault. He completes the driver line-up of the Oschersleben-based talent factory. In addition to Markus Pommer, Dutchman Indy Dontje, Columbian Andrés Méndez and Nabil Jeffri from Kuala Lumpur will battle for points for the team. The 20-year also participated in the 2013 ATS Formula 3 Cup.
The 23-year-old from Heilbronn has several years of experience in Formula 3 racing under his belt. "He was originally supposed to contest GP3 with us," says Team Principal Rumfpkeil. But following the death of our partner Igor Mazepa, the attitude of his heirs towards racing changed. We had to pull the plug on our GP3 and GP2 programs. Instead we decided together with Markus Pommer to add another Formula 3 season to his roster."
The gifted Swabian has already got three successful seasons of F3 ...
Malaysian talent for the ATS Formula 3 Cup
15. April 2014
Nabil Jeffri will be competing for Team Motopark in the 2014 ATS Formula 3 Cup. The 20-year old from Kuala Lumpur jumped ship for his second season in Germany's most important feeder series and has joined one of Europe's most successful and established junior teams. Jeffri is part of a dedicated young driver development programme by Malaysia's oil and petrol company, Petronas. "We are proud that Petronas has chosen our team as a worthy partner for their driver development programme," ...>>>
Next round of the Ravenol Media Award
14. April 2014
The Ravenol Media Award of the ATS Formula 3 Cup is one of the most coveted awards for young racing talents. It intends to promote dealing with the media in addition to the practice on the racetrack. With this, the German Formula 3 lives up to its mission "general qualification for motorsports" again. The successful Ravenol Media Award concept from the year 2013 is to be continued. Last year, Freddy Killensberger's very creative cross-media project convinced the international jury. The ...>>>

It began in the 2008 presidential election when they wagered — perhaps safely — that Barack Obama, a first-term U.S. senator from Illinois, couldn't win the White House.
The risky gambling could have ended there. Republicans could have assumed the traditional role of loyal opposition, offering good-faith compromises to the major legislative issues of the day. Instead, they gambled that an all-out effort to resist Obama would not hurt them at the polls.
In the 2010 midterm elections, their bet paid off. With conservatives rallying under the Tea Party banner, Republicans took majority status away from Democrats in the U.S. House. The Republicans lost the race to control the U.S. Senate as the sort of extremism from candidates that played well in super-secure House districts fell flat in several key states.
Republican prospects looked solid so long as leadership pleased the grassroots radicals exercised by the very thought of Barack Hussein Obama occupying the White House. That feat, however, hasn't always been easy for Republican leaders in the House. Tea Party Republicans came to Washington to set the town ablaze with the refining fires of uncompromising ideology.
The 2012 congressional elections were a repeat of 2010 — R's took the House and extremist Republicans in various Senate races kept D's in control. Oh, and Obama won a second term in the White House.
This mix was expected to bring conflict. Eight months after the president's second inauguration we have it in the form of a government shutdown that was pending as this editorial was written.
However, there's a twist this time. The conflict is mainly among Republicans — those who argue that no amount of threats will delay or defund Obamacare vs. those who are ready to drive the nation off the cliff in the name of ideology.
Whether the government shuts down or not, it's clear the cliff-drivers have won the day. Any consequences of this unnecessary brinksmanship will land on the shoulders of Republicans, even those who have counseled against this unprovoked fight with the president.
Republicans overplayed their hand. They've had opportunities aplenty to return to place themselves in a less-exposed posture. They did not, and soon we may all pay the price.

Hofstetter's national TV debut came on ESPN's Quite Frankly, where Stephen A. Smith yelled at him for three minutes. Hofstetter has also appeared on CBS' "Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson," Showtime's "White Boyz in the Hood," VH1's "Countdown," Sundance's "On the Road in America," and ABC's "Barbara Walter's Special," where he thankfully did not cry. Having appeared on networks from Boston to Miami to Denver, his local television appearances are too numerous to count, especially if you're using your fingers.
One of the top booked acts on the college circuit, the 29-year-old humorist also just released his third album and his third book. The book is titled "National Lampoon's Balls!" Thankfully, It's a sports book. Hofstetter has written humor columns for the New York Times, SportsIllustrated.com, and NHL.com, where he publicly admitted to being a Ranger fan.
After hosting Four Quotas on Sirius Satellite Radio for two seasons, Hofstetter moved to broadcast radio, and his Sports Minute (Or So) is currently syndicated on over 150 stations and in over 30 newspapers. Hofstetter's first live comedy album ("Cure For the Cable Guy") reached #20 on Billboard's comedy charts. His second album ("Dark Side of the Room") is the first ever pay-what-you-want" comedy album, since people were going to steal it anyway.
Hofstetter's brutal tour schedule consists of over 100 colleges and dozens of clubs every year, and is fueled by an immense online popularity, tons of press, and a Prius with great gas mileage. He reached 200,000 friends on Facebook and 400,000 more on MySpace, and high shelves in grocery stores.
Hofstetter was named one of Two Drink Minimum magazine's Best New Faces of 2004, which confuses him since he definitely had a face in 2003. And while Hofstetter's live shows are routinely sold out, he is best known for his writing, first published at age 15 (when he also had a face). At 18, he co-founded "Sports Jerk of the Week," an irreverent website featured by press like USA Today's Baseball Weekly, Sports Illustrated and CNN. And at 20, Hofstetter took a year off of school to head up web content for the New York Yankees. The Yankees won the World Series that year, which would have been wonderful if they hadn't beaten Hofstetter's Mets. He did not have a face that night.
While an undergraduate at Columbia University, Hofstetter was a well-read columnist for the Columbia Daily Spectator and a voice of the Lions. After a summer writing for Maxim, ESPN, and Sports Illustrated for Kids, Hofstetter turned his column into two books. The column gained popularity with syndication in several newspapers and websites, including collegehumor.com.
Rachel Feinstein grew up outside Washington DC, in the mean streets of Bethesda, MD. She maintained a healthy D+ average in school, while finding time to mock and imitate her loved ones. Rachel moved to New York at 17 to start her career as an actress and slowly developed her character-driven stand-up act, which her mom refers to as her "talent show." A more detailed account of the many humiliations and other shenagigans that I, whoops, I mean she, encountered on her way can be found on her album, "Thug Tears" released on Comedy Central Records in November 2011.
Rachel was a finalist on Season 7 of Last Comic Standing. She was also featured on Russell Simmons' Presents, Live at the El Ray, TBS's Just For Laughs series and Comics Unleashed. She has her own half hour special, Comedy Central Presents Rachel Feinstein.
She's written for "The Onion" and "Heeb Magazine." Rachel has voiced various characters on Adult Swim's "Venture Brothers," the animated Comedy Central web series, "Samurai Love God" and Spike TV's web series "Battle Pope." She has also appeared on VH1, E! Entertainment, and CNN's "Not Just Another Cable News Show."
Rachel also reviews hip hop as her Grandma, "Ice Cold Rhoda, World's Oldest Hater" based on a star of david rating system on comedycentral.com and Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg on Hot 97.
International spots include " Montreal Comedy Festival", Scotland's "Glasgow Comedy Festival," Amsterdam's "Comedy Factory" and a U.S Military tour in Korea.
Rachel is a supporting actress in the upcoming independent films, "Circus Maximus" and "Peace After Marriage" which won the "Tribeca All Access Award".

Home of the Brave is the story of the only white woman murdered in the civil rights movement -- and why we don't know who she is
Gabriel Richmond has it all - a great career, a devoted best friend and a loving wife and daughter - then why is he so miserable? Witty, probing and emotionally honest, MULTIPLE SARCASMS is an average guy's search for what's missing from his "perfect" life. To figure it all out, Gabe writes an autobiographical stage play to help reveal what matters most and maybe find the love that was right under his nose all along. An incredible all-star cast including Oscar winner Timothy Hutton (Ordinary People, TV's Leverage), Academy Award-winner Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite), Dana Delany (TV's Desperate Housewives), Mario Van Peebles (TV's Damages) and Academy Award-nominee Stockard Channing (Six Degrees of Separation) fuels this fresh look of what it takes to find real happiness.

Nick who? That's what fans of The Good Wife are — thankfully — asking after a recent string of strong episodes have erased the unpleasant first half of Season 4 from memory. In September, the legal drama (airing Sundays at 9/8c) suffered a rare critical misfire when it introduced Kalinda's (Archie Panjabi) cold and abrasive estranged husband Nick (Marc Warren), who was not popular with the fans. No irreparable damage was done, but for a show that was regularly in critics' top 10 lists during its first three seasons, the negative attention was surprising. Producers caught on and quickly expunged Nick. Less than four months later, the show is stronger than ever. So how'd they do it? Here's seven ways...

When a terrific series is truly on its game, some episodes can feel like absolute perfection. Happened Tuesday with a thrillingly entertaining and pivotal episode of FX's Justified, and the same feeling applies to Sunday's sensational The Good Wife (9/8c, CBS).

Like any industry, the military is faced with the challenge of replacing a number of baby boomers who have served for many years but are now contemplating when to call it a career. But they're not all the same age, in the same financial boat, or working at the same kind of job. That means that while there may not be a human capital vacuum in one particular area of the military, a large number of simultaneous retirements will certainly have impact on our armed forces as a whole.
The instability of international relations is another reason why the military must be vigilant in its efforts to develop high-potential officers. That means extending your training beyond onboarding and toward succession planning. Blackboard Learn™ for Military offers a gradual training progression that enables service men and women to fully internalize knowledge while developing the skills they need to lead when in theater.
You'll offer them ongoing development with practical job applications, mentoring, and relevant training based on ever-changing battlefield conditions. In addition, you'll accelerate the development of your future leaders by facilitating and tracking workgroups, providing strategic content, and capturing ongoing feedback.
Develop tomorrow's military leaders today with the leadership training and mentoring that only Blackboard Learn can provide.

"She's talented and good at what she does but that doesn't change who she is. She's still Jen who happens to be good at acting," her Mom said earlier this week of their Oscar-winning daughter.
In an adorable interview with their local Louisville TV station (video below), Jennifer's family talks about how they help keep her in check despite Hollywood's best efforts to make her into a diva. "We're gonna try our best to keep her grounded and let her know that she's not as cool as everybody says she is," her brother Blaine jokes.
Her parents, Gary and Karen, have their values in the right in place; they're the anti-Lohans. You won't see them outside of a courtroom yelling at lawyers or partying at a club with their daughter. They're honest about how difficult it is for them to see Jennifer picked apart in the tabloids for her appearance and her personal life. "When she was in London they yelled at her, 'you don't have any talent, go back to the U.S.A,' real hateful," her dad says.
On "Silver Lining's Playbook" co-star Bradley Cooper, Jennifer's mom simply says, "He's a great guy."
Jennifer's dad says that hair and makeup people always come up to him and tell him that Jennifer is such polite person. "I kid her and I say, 'If I come and I don't hear that, we're gonna have some problems.'"
Given how J-Law has shouldered her fame up to this point, we don't think that's going to be an issue, Gary. You've done a bang-up job.

George Zimmerman released from jail
SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — George Zimmerman is once again a free man after an arrest on criminal charges — but his freedom carries conditions.
The former neighborhood watch volunteer who was acquitted in the fatal shooting of unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin earlier this year was released from jail Tuesday pending arraignment on the latest charges against him: aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief.
Zimmerman was released on the condition that he wear an electronic monitor, keep his distance from guns, and stay away from the girlfriend who accused him of trying to choke her and then a week later pointing a shotgun at her. His bond was set at $9,000.
Zimmerman's arrest is the latest of several brushes he has had with the law following his acquittal in Martin's death, a case that drew worldwide attention as it sparked nationwide debates about race and self-defense laws.
The choking accusation was disclosed for the first time by a prosecutor at Zimmerman's first appearance Tuesday before a judge. Zimmerman's girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe, feared for her life because Zimmerman mentioned suicide and said he "had nothing to lose," according to Assistant State Attorney Lymary Munoz.
After the hearing, Zimmerman's public defenders said he did not appear to be suicidal and expressed confidence he would be acquitted of any wrongdoing.
"He doesn't appear to be a danger to himself or a danger to anybody else," said public defender Daniel Megaro.
Zimmerman, 30, wore gray jail garments and handcuffs during the hearing and spoke only when answering yes or no to the judge.
Judge Frederic Schott ordered him to stay away from Scheibe's house, wear a monitoring device and refrain from contact with her. He was forbidden from possessing guns or ammunition or traveling outside Florida.
Zimmerman has been charged with aggravated assault, a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison. He also has been charged with battery and criminal mischief, both misdemeanors. An arraignment was set for Jan. 7.
Judge Schott said Zimmerman's previous brushes with the law were not a factor in the conditions he imposed, but he did cite the new allegation of choking as a reason for the bond amount.
Earlier this year, Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges in the February 2012 fatal shooting of teenager Trayvon Martin. The Justice Department has been investigating whether to file civil rights charges against Zimmerman related to that case. A department spokesman said Tuesday that it would announce its decision soon.
Zimmerman revealed in an affidavit for hiring public defenders that he has at least $2 million in debts and no income. He said he had less than $150 in cash on hand.
Public defender Jeff Dowdy said Zimmerman's family has been supporting him financially.
"I would think it would be difficult for George Zimmerman to get a job in central Florida," he said.
Zimmerman has previously used a website to raise money for his legal and living expenses, including $95,000 spent on bail in the Trayvon Martin case. The site also says tens of thousands of dollars were spent on living expenses and security.
In this latest scuffle, both Zimmerman and his girlfriend called 911 Monday and provided dueling descriptions to dispatchers about the argument at the home she rented where Zimmerman was also staying.
Scheibe accused him in the emergency call of pointing a gun at her, smashing a coffee table and then pushing her outside. Zimmerman also called dispatchers, denied pointing a gun at her and blamed her for the broken table.
The girlfriend told deputies the ordeal started with a verbal argument and that she asked Zimmerman to leave the house. Her account in the arrest report says he began packing his belongings, including a shotgun and an assault rifle. She says she began putting his things in the living room and outside the house, and he became upset.
At that point, the report said, he took the shotgun out of its case.
Zimmerman told his girlfriend to leave and smashed a pair of her sunglasses as she walked toward the front door, the report said. Scheibe told deputies he pushed her out of the house when she got close to the door.
In his call to 911, Zimmerman said he never pulled a gun on his girlfriend and that it was she who smashed a table. He also told the dispatcher that Scheibe was pregnant with their child and that she had decided she would raise the child on her own. When Zimmerman started to leave, "she got mad," he said.
Seminole County Chief Deputy Dennis Lemma said at a news conference that Scheibe was not pregnant. He also said Zimmerman was compliant and unarmed when deputies came to the house.
On Tuesday, Dowdy said he could not confirm whether the girlfriend was pregnant.
The arrest Monday was the latest legal problem for Zimmerman since he was acquitted last summer of criminal charges in the fatal shooting of Martin. Zimmerman has said he shot the 17-year-old to defend himself during a fight in February 2012 inside a gated community in Sanford, just outside Orlando.
Relatives of Martin accused Zimmerman of racially profiling the teen and instigating a fight. Zimmerman identifies himself as Hispanic.
In September, just two months after his acquittal, Zimmerman was accused by his estranged wife of smashing an iPad during an argument at the home they had shared. Shellie Zimmerman initially told a dispatcher her husband had a gun, though she later said he was not armed.
No charges were ever filed because of a lack of evidence. The dispute occurred days after Shellie Zimmerman filed divorce papers. George Zimmerman was served the papers while in custody on the latest charges, said Shellie Zimmerman's lawyer, Kelly Sims.
In 2005, he had to take anger-management courses after he was accused of attacking an undercover officer who was trying to arrest Zimmerman's friend.
Later that year, Zimmerman's former fiancee filed for a restraining order against him, alleging domestic violence. Zimmerman responded by requesting a restraining order against her. Both requests were granted, and no criminal charges were filed.
Since his acquittal, Zimmerman has also been pulled over three times for traffic stops.
Trayvon Martin's father speaks to PeaceFest crowd at Forest Park
The father of Florida teen Trayvon Martin is hoping his son's death can become a message of peace. '
Tracy Martin spoke to several hundred people who gathered at Forest Park Sunday night for PeaceFest 2013. The annual event focuses on ending violence on St. Louis streets.
Martin told festival-goers men have key role to play in bringing peace to a community. "We as men, we need to go back into the communities and start mentoring the kids," Martin said. "And just show them that they are loved and that their lives do matter."
Yesterday's festivities were sponsored by A Better Family Life, a local organization that focuses on bring about positive change for families and neighborhoods.
Trayvon Martin's father to speak on Capitol Hill
WASHINGTON (AP) - The father of slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin will be on Capitol Hill for a hearing addressing the challenges faced by African-American boys and men.
Tracy Martin will give opening remarks Wednesday at the inaugural hearing of the Congressional Caucus on Black Men and Boys. D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton and Illinois Congressman Danny Davis are the co-chairs of the newly formed caucus. Both are Democrats.
The hearing will also feature remarks by David Johns, executive director of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African-Americans; Georgetown University sociology professor Michael Eric Dyson; and Kweisi Mfume, a former congressman and NAACP president.
Earlier this month, neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman was acquitted of second degree murder in the slaying of the 17 year old Martin, who was unarmed.
Groups call for social justice in wake of Zimmerman verdict
People affiliated with a number of social justice groups held a rally in response to George Zimmerman's acquittal.
Zaki Baruti with the Universal African Peoples Organization believes the Zimmerman verdict says something about the US. "America is not qhat it says it is, it is full of hypocrisy. It is not freedom and justice and equality here in this country." says Baruti.
Protesters gathered outside of the Old Courthouse in downtown St. Louis. Organizers say this is just the first activity planned to draw attention to was they say are injustices.
City Police were aware of the event and were happy to announce that there were no arrests made.
In Illinois, Obama led fight on racial profiling
WASHINGTON (AP) - More than a decade ago, then-state Sen. Barack Obama helped pass a racial profiling bill in Illinois. Now that effort is offering clues about how America's first black president feels about an issue still polarizing the U.S. months after Trayvon Martin's death.
Obama has said little about the acquittal of George Zimmerman, who was charged with killing the black teenager in Florida. Obama says the jury has spoken, but wants the nation to seek ways to prevent future tragedies.
In 2003, Obama passed a bill requiring police to keep track of the race, age and gender of drivers they pulled over. The records could then be analyzed for bias.
Obama has written about his own experiences with profiling, including being pulled over, in his words, "for no apparent reason."
Hundreds rallied in STL after Zimmerman verdict
Many in St. Louis are upset over the George Zimmerman verdict. About 500 people marched in downtown St. Louis Sunday evening.
Many demonstrators said they were marching to show support for Trayvon Martin's family. Most say they're calling for federal charges or a civil suit against Zimmerman who was acquitted in a criminal trial Saturday.
The St. Louis march was mostly peaceful, with a small splinter group getting police attention after overturning a dumpster. Four were arrested.
Organizers say another march is planned for Thursday.
Detective returns to stand in Zimmerman trial
SANFORD, Fla. (AP) - The lead police detective who investigated Trayvon Martin's fatal shooting last year is returning to the witness stand.
Sanford Police detective Chris Serino testifies for a second day Tuesday about his investigation into the fatal shooting of the Miami teenager by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer.
The 29 year old Zimmerman is pleading not guilty to second-degree murder. He claims he acted in self-defense.
Jurors on Monday heard a series of recorded police interviews of detectives questioning Zimmerman about his confrontation with Martin in a gated community in central Florida.

A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.

So, just when you thought there was nothing more to say about the recently defeated 2A Tax on Sugary Drinks, Watch reporter Samuel Adams penned yet another article which was placed on the front page of the newspaper.
As such, I have a few issues with Mr. Adams' article. Firstly, unless otherwise specified, front-page stories are normally reserved for news articles rather than those of opinion. In my estimation, Mr. Adams' article had an obvious bias favoring the Kick the Can Telluride group and his writing would have been more appropriately classified as a "commentary." He spent the majority of the article rehashing the KTCT point of view, along with multiple quotes from those in favor of the tax, while not offering any voice from the opposing group. Mr. Adams also attempted to vilify the "No on 2A" group by referring to them as being supported by lobbyists with strong ties to the beverage association, as opposed to KTCT who was supported by a philanthropic group. Little mention was given to local merchants, most of whom were vehemently opposed to the tax.
Equally troubling was Mr. Adams' comments related to one of the founders of KTCT, Ms. Elisa Marie Overall. He noted in glowing terms, along with self-serving quotes from Ms. Overall how she donated "$1,500 of her money to the campaign." What Mr. Adams neglected to mention was the fact that Ms. Overall was paid a salary for her involvement in KTCT. According to required campaign financial reports, for the reporting month of September alone, Ms. Overall received $6,223. Given that, I'm not sure that the expression, "return of income," as opposed to "donation," would have been more appropriate.
For Mr. Adams to have omitted financial information that was in the public domain is either disingenuous if he had the report, or incompetence if he didn't. As Ms. Overall has chosen to place herself in the public arena having founded KTCT, in my opinion, to be paid for supporting a tax that was to fund a program that she is paid to run, to solve an obesity problem that doesn't exist in Telluride is, well, let's just say, transparent.

ON THIS PAGE: You will find some basic information about this disease and the parts of the body it may affect. This is the first page of Cancer.Net's Guide to Melanoma. To see other pages, use the colored boxes on the right side of your screen. Think of those boxes as a roadmap to this full guide. Or, click "Next" at the bottom of each page.
About the skin
The skin is the body's largest organ. It protects against infection and injury, and it helps regulate body temperature. The skin also stores water and fat and produces vitamin D.
Skin is made up of two main layers: the epidermis (outer layer of skin) and the dermis (inner layer of skin). The deepest layer of the epidermis, just above the dermis, contains melanocytes, which are pigment-producing (color-producing) cells.
About melanoma
Melanoma begins when normal melanocytes change and grow uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumor. A tumor can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous, meaning it can spread to other parts of the body).
Frequently, melanoma develops from a pre-existing mole. Melanoma occurs most commonly on the skin of men's backs or on women's legs, but melanoma can occur anywhere on the body, including the head and neck, the skin under the fingernails, and even the soles of the feet or palms of the hands.
When found early, melanoma can often be cured with surgery. However, melanoma is also the most serious form of skin cancer and can grow deep into the dermis, invading lymph and blood vessels. The median age at which people are diagnosed with melanoma is just above 50 years old. Still, melanoma occurs in young adults with greater frequency than many other cancer types.
This section focuses on cutaneous melanoma, which is melanoma that arises on the skin. Melanoma can also develop in the mucous membranes that line the mouth, gastrointestinal tract, vagina, and other locations around the body. Melanoma may also develop in the eye. You can learn more about melanoma diagnosed elsewhere in the body, such as melanoma of the eye, melanoma of the anus, and melanoma of the vagina, in these specific cancer type sections. For information on non-melanoma skin cancer, review the section on basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers.

Phar Lap is Melbourne Museum's most popular object.
From his amazing run of racetrack wins during the 1930s Depression to his sudden death in the USA, the Phar Lap story gripped the Australian imagination.
Included with museum entry.
MV Members receive FREE museum entry.
Melbourne Museum's Phar Lap website has a considerable amount of information on Phar Lap. The Facts page tells us that Phar Lap was foaled (born) at Timaru, New Zealand, on 4 October 1926. This would make him 85 years old today. He died in 1932, 70 years ago and his hide was mounted and is on display at Melbourne Museum, his skeleton is at the Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa, and his heart is at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra.
Dear Horse Chick,
Thank you for your enquiry about what type of horse Phar Lap was, Phar Lap was a thoroughbred horse. Thoroughbred is a horse breed best known for its use in horse racing although the word thoroughbred is sometimes used to refer to any breed of purebred horse, it technically refers to the Thoroughbred breed.
His Sydney trainer Harry Telford was a keen student of thoroughbred bloodlines and spent countless hours poring over pedigree charts. He believed he had found a future champion in a colt that was shortly due to sell in New Zealand. Sired by Night Raid and foaled out of Entreaty.
Please see this link to find out more information about Phar Lap.
Phar Lap is still one of the most popular exhibits at the Museum, and many visitors make him their first stop.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
Hi, I was just wondering if you are allowed to take bags into the Top Arts exhibition. I am going with my school group next week and was wondering if we are all...
